Scope and Content Note

This series consists of transcripts of dockets of judgments in the U.S. Circuit Court and District Courts for the Southern District of New York. The transcripts vary in format, but all entries give the names of the losing and winning parties, the amount of judgment and costs, the date of docketing judgment, and the attorney's name. Each transcript bears the certificate of the clerk of the U.S. courts that the transcript is correct. Most of the transcripts are copies forwarded to the clerks of the Supreme Court at Utica and Geneva, but some appear to be the originals sent to Albany. These transcripts were made and submitted pursuant to a law of 1829 which made the same requirement for the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York which sat at Utica. The law provided that the U.S. transcripts be entered into a book (Transcripts of Docket of Judgments in U.S. District and Circuit Courts).
